AuthorTopic: Personal websites (Read 31467 times)

Does anyone here at this forum or viewing this forum have their own personal website that they want to share with us? I'm not talking about "commercial" website but more websites about you as a person, who you are and your accomplishments.

I know trunl and Tanner have their own websites but I can't remember their URL's right now.

yep and I am the cool guy on the right But we have to give Bas who is the frozen guy in the middle credit for going sledding downhill on 3300m on Denali in his boxers (and barefeet) about 10 minutes before this picture

(While not wanting anyone to go copy that sledding as it is full of crevasses and the sled has no break, it was still cool :lol))

I just read your Elbrus trip report. The guides Oxanna and Marina were really good, I climbed with them this summer. I posted my summit picture on Elbrus in the summitlog and it is Marina who took it.

The last part of the climb to the west summit (the 400m) is one tough cookie in bad condition. We had the same whiteout condition as you guys and it took at least one and a half hour to the summit, a neverending slog uphill. I'm sorry you didn't make it but I think it was a good decision to retreat.

We were four guys with Marina in front with a good rythm considering the conditions, but going down was hard because I was really tired but we managed to get down by 2:00pm for a 10 hours round trip to the summit.

And there were 5 guys with Oxanna who should have retreated but went to the summit anyway. There was one who panicked, couldn't move descending, another one who lost is crampons at least 4 times, couldn't walk straight, and most of them went straight to sleep for the night upon arriving at the Barrels at 4:00pm.

People underestimates Elbrus. It is more difficult than it looked. And with the conditions it can be quite hazardous, but what a beautiful place it is and definitely worth it to climb to its summit.

I hope that it will turn out nice as well. Right now I am working on a back-end to be able to update the website with XML through a PHP-webinterface if that makes any sense. I'm also adding a photogallery somewhere, some how...

Good luck with your websites Andreas and Ron. I like what I see so far. Andreas, I remember a similar post of yours at Summitpost.org It was very popular. Here is my website (Its not commercial) http://www.hiking4health.com I hope to see you back at the Summitpost message board soon

Thanks for the kind words about my website. However it's no longer available online as I might be in the process of selling the entire concept to another climber, who also happens to frequent this website. We'll see how that turns out.

I do remember that topic on Summitpost and yes, it was kinda popular.

I looked over at SP and saw that you are posted a lot in it. Love this pic from your website btw.. looks kinda chilly!
